I recently re-installed my OS to Ubuntu 9.10. I re-installed Zotero and downloaded the plug in for Open Office a Zotero.oxt file. When I try to get use the citation manager, it says that the version of the plugin that I am using (2.0a2) is incompatible with the Firefox extension 2.0rc.
View 1 RepliesI've been searching for an hour or so and can't seem to find a concrete answer. My endgame is having Ubuntu successfully installed (either 9.10 or 10.04) with a fully working Ati 4870x2. I desperately need some help on finding the proper configuration of OS version and driver version. I installed 10.04 with the 10.3 driver package from ATI's site and it was a no go - I had nothing but problems.
I would like to have full 3d acceleration so I can play some games through Wine. This is a powerful card - I know ATI doesn't have a great reputation in the Linux world but I really hope there is a driver version I can install to get some good results.The rest of my specs are in my signature I need to install 64 bit Ubuntu to make use all of the system and video ram.
I would like to replace the exiting kernel in one of my Fedora 11 installs with an earlier kernel from a Fedora 10 Unity Spin...so I can use it to bring ATI functionality to Fedora 11. Also, I recall there being a way to unpack rpms and 'repackage' them using a different kernel development set. How is this done?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several lectures from a class that were distributed as .pps files. When I try to open them with Impress, the slide show immediately starts playing. When the end of the slide show is reached, Impress closes. So, I have no way of looking at these slide shows in the editing window (which is what I need to do). I have tried opening these presentations both from the command line, and by starting Impress then selecting File > Open.
Once the presentation starts, I can switch to the editing window, but essentially all buttons and menu items are "grayed out": [URL] I can't even save the presentation as a native OOffice type.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have looked at heaps of the citation software and have settled on using Zotero for a few months to really get a feel for it. One major barrier is how to import my (large) pdf collection into it in one easy step.
Goal: have zotero import my PDF library in one batch. (ubuntu 9.04)
1. I have tried to do it 1 at a time. The sun will explode before I get that done.
2. I have tried this work around without success: Drag and drop from Konqueror (KDE 3.5, opensuse 11.1) fails for me, too. A workaround to allow drag N drop is to use Firefox as a file browser (enter "file://<location_to_file>" as the URL), and to drag and drop from there. [URL]
Firefox cant find the directory
3. I have tried drag and drop as suggested on the Zotero forums (largely for windows users). No luck.
4. I have searched the web, with no other suggestions that have worked.
So, I read a lot of PDFs and I would like to be able to take notes on it and export as a pdf so it can be read by other PDF viewers. I've read a few older posts about this and xournal sounded like a good option. I've tried whytboard a little and didn't really seem like what I wanted. I also like zotero for research stuff and the note taking they have for webpage SS and documents is GREAT but I haven't been able to get pdf to work for note taking or maybe it isn't implemented yet? If there was a way to make Zotero notes to work with pdf that would be perfect!
Also, its been a few years since the last pdf notes post that I could find, what are people using these days? any noteworthy programs?
I want to create a button on my taskbar that does this operation

I am getting the following error message when I try to insert a reference:
Zotero OpenOffice Integration could not communicate with OpenOffice.org because the soffice executable directory specified in the Zotero OpenOffice Integration preferences does not contain a "soffice" file. See the Zotero word processor plugin troubleshooting page for information on how to locate the appropriate directory.
The zotero page does not give a great deal of help. Did somebody make this plugin work with OpenOffice in OpenSuse? Especially: are the paths indicated correct?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed 9.10 on a computer I'm working on, and right away the graphics went out. It won't display the proper resolution without shoving the display significantly to the left.
After MUCH Googling, I found that this can be fixed by a driver called i915. After much MORE Googling, I found [URL], which as you can imagine filled me with relief.
And THEN I try to follow the instructions and discover to my pure horror that GRUB has been gutted and made unusable in 9.10. GRUB2 just simply does not seem to have an option to insert the i915 driver into my boot command.
should I just forget this unstable release and burn a 9.04 disk instead?
My machine is dated, that's for sure, but it's never given me problems. Ubuntu has worked flawless until the 10.04 update. Now I'm not getting my proper screen resolution of 1024.768, and Ubuntu won't recognise my screen. Also, when I try to load up my nvidia drivers on the Hardware Drivers app, and reboot the computer, when GDM loads I get an error that the nvidia module fails to load, and there is no such driver.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a DVD that I am trying to burn to a disc. What I have is a VIDEO_TS folder. First I burned just that to the disc and it plays fine in my standard DVD player, but when I try to play it back using Ubuntu's Movie Player, it acts like it is going to play for a split second and then goes into stop mode. So, I tried burning the disc again, but this time I added and empty AUDIO_TS folder to it. Still plays fine on the DVD player, but in Movie Player it plays the menu. Only it doesn't show any image, just a '>' symbol that you can move with the mouse.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have connected a PC running Ubuntu 10.10 to an LG TV through HDMI. I get an image, but the borders are out of the screen. At the screen dialogue of Ubuntu, the monitor isn't listed correctly. Ubuntu recognise the monitor as Goldstar Company Ltd. 52" whereas it is LG 47". I suppose it produces an image for 52", and for this reason I cannot see the borders. I have not a video card. The job is done by the i3 cpu, so I suppose it is not a problem of the card.
How can I solve it? LG doesn't provide a driver for Linux. Is there any other site where I can find the proper driver? Or is there anything else I can do to fix this? It is vital for me, as I cannot work at all with this setup.
Okay, so I just installed ubuntu alongside Windows 7, and it's saying wireless is disabled. I clicked "enable wireless," and the box has a check mark now, but it's still saying that wireless is disabled. I restarted my computer just to see if that'd do it, but it's still not working.

Laptop at issue: Toshiba Qosmio G25-av513
CD/DVD drive: Matshita DVD-RAM uj-845s
I attempted to do a proper install of Ubuntu 11.04 via booting of off CD. This failed because my CD/DVD drive is quirky and does not like burned CDs, though it likes factory pressed CDs just fine. I reattempted using a burned DVD, which almost worked, but my quirky drive just couldn't quite handle it. Replacing this drive is currently not an option, as I have no money for such things at this time.
I updated the CD/DVD drive firmware to 102D (apparently the most recent), but to no avail. I am comfortable with tearing apart electronics, so if anyone has knowledgeable suggestions about any kind of maintenance I could do to the drive I would be happy to hear it. Also, a (cheap!) factory pressed Ubuntu CD could work as well. Are such things available?
I further attempted booting via flash drive, but this failed as well, despite changing BIOS settings. If anyone has any useful suggestions on this, I would be happy to hear them. I attempted installation within Windows XP and was successful, though this is not an optimal solution. I have a second 60GB hard drive in this laptop that I would like to devote to a proper installation of Linux. It seems like I should be able to do this from within the current Ubuntu installation, but I am unsure of how to proceed.
I need my xorg in 9.10 to be in 5:4 ratio for it to display properly. Does any one know how I can do this. Can not update to 10.04 because I get frozen screen with activity indicator stuck in upper left corner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
